SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Oct. IA horri-
bic outrage was committed at DWyer
avenue tonight about 10 O'Clock within
about two blocks of the main plaza. Two
men gained entrance to the house of Mr..
Jesse N. Truck, threw blanket over the
head of Mrs. Truox, dragged her out in
the back yard to the river and there left
her in an unconscious state. When she
regeiued sufficient strength her screams
attracted the attention OF psssers-by who
gave the alarm. The lady's nerves were
so shattered that she was unable to give
an intelligent account of the crime to the
police. All the members OF the family
were at the Italian celebration at San
Pedro Springs, and Mrs. Troux
WAS the sole occupant of the
house. She had left the
gas burning in her room, and says she
was awakened about 10 O'Clock by two
masked men, who demanded smoney on
pain of her life. Failing to secure any
money they threw thick blanket over
her head and dragged her by the hair to
where she was found. It is not thought
she was outraged, and further than sew
eral painful bruises, she received no
serious injuries. The police are securing
the city for the perpetrators, but up to
II O'Clock have no cleW.

AUSTIN, TEX, Oct. 12.-The following
interesting information obtained from a
private letter to gentleman in this city
from Colonel T. j. Goree, superintendent
of the state penitentiary: The board has
been down to Oyster creek and can give
you correct data about the crop there
The crop has been injured some by
drouth, little by caterpillars, but most
ly by worms. Our fight against the
caterpillars with poison was success as
shown by the foliage and growing crop.
We have 900 sores in cotton and / believe
but for the boil worm would have made
800 or $50 bales. Even now / calculate
on 600 bales, and if we do not have too
much unfavorable weather for gathering,
we will probably get 7t0 bales. On the
farms worked on the states account and
on shares, I think the stste will get
1900 bales OF cotton at least, and
a considerable quantity of corn. We
have made and gathered 5000 bushels on
Harlem, and think about 5000 On the
state farm. We ought to get about 10000
bushels on our farms. We have 100 acres
OF very fine cane on Harlem. The number of
